Code to stream video from one Microscope to another client using VLC player. Suppose we are sitting at Alice and the microscope wants to stream video of its biological culture to another microscope running a VLC client app (Bob).
At the Linux terminal running on Alice type the following command:
libcamera-vid -t 0 --width 1920 --height 1080 --codec h264 --inline --listen -o tcp://0.0.0.0:8888
With this commnad we tell Alice to bradcast a stream on port 8888 using the TCP protocol.
The 0.0.0.0
is the loopback (self) address.
Now, at the linux terminal of Bob, we tell the shell to run VLC
and use it to listen
to the broadcast at port 8888
of the IP address of Alice ALICE_IP_ADDRESS
vlc tcp/h264://ALICE_IP_ADDRESS:8888/
To get the name and IP address of Alice, while you are on its Linux shell, type:
hostname && hostname -I
